BNP's return to JS becomes slim

BNP Secretary General Khandaker Delwar Hossain yesterday said the possibility of their return to parliament is becoming slim due to autocratic attitude of the present Awami League-led government.
"The government is showing such a hostile attitude towards opposition leaders and workers that it is spoiling the atmosphere in and outside parliament and making slim the possibility of our lawmakers to return to the House," he said at a press briefing at the chairperson's Gulshan office in the city.
Delwar said BNP attended parliament form the first day accepting the result of a stage-managed elections but the government did not allow his party lawmakers to be there.
BNP, the main opposition in parliament, is boycotting parliament session demanding its 8-point demand including rearrangement of seat plan of the House, he added.
"Conspiracy, torture and fascism can never bring welfare to anyone. Time is still there and I hope good sense of the government will prevail. Don't force us to go for movement," BNP secretary general warned.
Lambasting the government for deteriorating law and order situation and filing cases against BNP leaders, he said the war-like attitude of the government towards the opposition proves that it has no faith in democracy.
"The government wants to create a panic situation by increasing torture and repression on the leaders, workers and supporters of the opposition," he added.
Delwar also blamed the prime minister for giving 'false information' in her speech given at the anti-poverty rally held in the capital recently, saying that she is trying to create confusion to hide the failure of her government.
Party leaders MK Anwar, Osman Farruk, Abdullah Al Noman and Barkat Ullah Bulu were present on the occasion.
